“I’ve spoken with our doctors here who saw him recently. They described him as somber. He’s still suffering PCS, with some memory loss. Overall, I’d say there has been slight improvement, some progress, but he still has a very long way to go.’’

According to Dupont, the plan is for Savard to return to Boston every few weeks for examinations. Chiarelli also said that the depression that affected Savard during his bout of PCS last summer and fall has not returned since he suffered his most recent concussion Jan. 22 in Denver. A determination on Savard’s playing future will not be made for months.

The situation of Marc Savard continues to be a sad one in the annals of Bruins history.

Savvy is my favorite player but I hope he takes the time he needs to fully comeback. Last year felt rushed and here he is in the same situation. It took Bergy a LONG time to recover so its not out of the question but if he does decide to retire I hope he knows that the fans in Beantown see him as black and gold forever.

Well the confirmation from the Bruins doesn’t surprise me. I hope Savard heals, but I honestly think the man needs to hang up the skates. I don’t think any game is worth risking another concussion that could come with even worse outcomes.

What a sad situation…I’m sure it is tough seeing the team going to the playoffs, but I also hope he realizes that he was a part of the reason the team has been good ft the past few years!! He’s my favorite hockey player and it is very sad not seeing him on the ice!!! I hope he turns the corner soon:)
